history
Project history and usage
typtea is a minimal Go terminal typing-speed tester with English and programming-language word sets.
Project history
The official GitHub repository was created in May 2025. The README describes WPM and accuracy tracking, smooth scrolling, embedded word data, and a Bubble Tea/Lipgloss interface.
The README keeps persistent statistics outside the main branch and points interested users to an optional SQLite-backed pull request, reinforcing the project's intentionally minimal design.
Adoption history
The official README documents AUR, FreeBSD, Homebrew, Nix, Void Linux, `go install`, and source builds. source_facts.package-manager independently records the Homebrew and Nix package identifiers.
How it is used
Users run `typtea start` for the default test, choose a duration with `--duration`, select English or a programming language with `--lang`, and list available language sets with `--list-langs`.
Why package nerds care
typtea is a small Charm-ecosystem TUI that packages cleanly as one Go binary with embedded word data, no credentials, and no required runtime service.
